4. Scheduling.
Backup schedule depends on the number of transactions on the server. Generally,
you should not let transaction log files grow over a certain limit, which depends
on a specific production database and the size of its transaction log files. These
are some general rules on how to schedule backups:
• Weekly full backup
• Differential backup daily
• Transaction log backups as needed
Schedule full and differential backups when the server is not heavily loaded
(nights and weekends). Do transaction log backups several times a day.
The final decision on scheduling must be made according to the actual database
configuration.
For more information, see the SQL Server documentation and the online Help.

Monitoring sessions

You can monitor currently running or view previous sessions in the Data Protector
GUI. When you run an interactive session, the monitor window shows you the session
progress. Closing the GUI does not affect the session.
You can also monitor sessions using the Monitor context from any Data Protector
client with the User Interface component installed.
For information on monitoring sessions, see the online Help index: "viewing currently
running sessions" and "viewing finished sessions".
